RE: Chris Weidman toys with retirement and I think that might be best

Nothing worse than seeing a shocking leg break and it turns my stomach every time I see one. I watched someone break my ankle and couldn't do anything about it as I was pinned down at the bottom of a maul whilst playing rugby. I think fighters staying past their sell by date is not only irresponsible by the people running the sport, but by the fighters themselves.

Sort:  

There aren't many fighters out there that once they are being honest are glad that they stayed involved in the sport. In fact, most of the fighters are saying that they are upset with themselves for ever getting involved. I don't recall who it was but it was some mid-card guy who was urging youth to not consider MMA a career option because or every McGregor getting massive paydays, there are 1000 people like him who barely make a living and have to deal with a lifetime of nagging injury because of it.
